+The ``course.robot`` option defines a dummy person used to sign
+automatically generated emails (e.g. responses to mailpipe-processed
+submissions).
+
+The ``submittable`` option marks assignments that accept direct
+submission from students (e.g. homeworks).  You probably don't want to
+set this option for attendance, since it would allow students to mark
+themselves as having attended a class.  ``submittable`` default to
+``False``.
